4.6 Connecting Catch Basin Waste Drain
(optional)
Installing the drain is highly recommended to prevent
basin overow.
The water dispenser does not require a drain connection
to the wastewater plumbing. The water dispenser has a
built-in catch basin that will hold the typical overow that
can occur when using the product.
Some local building codes, however, may require a
wastewater drain to prevent the potential overow of
water. The following steps cover the installation of the
drain.
1. Remove the two screws attaching the drain basin to
the water dispenser. Remove the drain basin.
2. Place the drain basin on a at, hard surface, such as
a piece of sacricial wood. Carefully drill a hole in the
basin using a 1" hole saw using the centering-dimple
as a guide to center the hole saw.
Note: Do not use a 1-1/8" hole saw as this will make the
opening too large.
3. Trial t the strainer. If the strainer does not t, carefully
open the size of the hole. If it ts well, place a small
amount of plumbers putty around the lip of the strainer
ange and insert it into the hole.
4. Install the O-ring over the strainer threads.
5. Thread the strainer into the drain adapter.
Needle-nose pliers can be used to hold the drain
adapter from the top while tightening. Ensure that
the connection creates a watertight seal. The drain
adapter must be facing to the left.
Note: Twisting the strainer instead of the drain adapter
can compromise the seal created by the plumber's
putty.
